Abstract

A FinFET split gate EEPROM structure includes a semiconductor substrate and an elongated semiconductor fin extending above the substrate. A control gate straddles the fin, the fin's sides and a first drain-proximate portion of a channel between a source and drain in the fin. The control gate includes a tunnel layer and a floating electrode over which are a first insulative stratum and a first conductive stratum. A select gate straddles the fin and its sides and second, source-proximate portion of the channel. The select gate includes a second insulative stratum and a second conductive stratum. The insulative strata are portions of a continuous insulative layer covering the substrate and the fin. The conductive strata are electrically continuous portions of a continuous conductive layer formed on the insulative layer.
